Ingredients

For the Meat:

• 1 pound veal or lamb (optional), cubed
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder

For the Vegetables:

• 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 medium onions, quartered
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

For the Broth:

• 2 cups beef stock
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 1 bay leaf

Garnish:

• Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Fire Up the Arteflame Grill

1. Light the Arteflame grill using vegetable oil-soaked napkins under firewood. Allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes.
2. Set up heat zones:
   • High heat in the center for searing.
   • Medium heat on the flat cooktop for roasting.

Step 2: Prepare and Sear the Meat

1. Toss the cubed meats with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Place the meat on the center grate to sear for 3-4 minutes per side until caramelized.
3. Remove the seared meat and set aside.

Step 3: Roast the Vegetables

1. Add the sliced carrots, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms to the flat cooktop.
2. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
3. Roast the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a light char.

Step 4: Simmer the Reindl Royal

1. Move the seared meat and roasted vegetables to the cooler outer edge of the flat cooktop or use a cast-iron pan placed on the grill.
2. Pour in the beef stock and white wine (if using). Stir in the tomato paste and add the bay leaf.
3. Cover loosely with foil and simmer for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the flavors meld.

Step 5: Serve

1. Discard the bay leaf and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
2. Serve hot, directly from the pan or a rustic platter, alongside crusty bread or dumplings.

Tips for Perfect Reindl Royal

1. Sear for Flavor: Searing the meat on high heat locks in juices and adds depth to the dish.
2. Low and Slow: Simmer the dish slowly to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to meld.
3. Use Fresh Herbs: Add fresh thyme or rosemary for an aromatic touch.
4. Customize Vegetables: Feel free to include parsnips, celery, or turnips for added variety.

Variations

1. Vegetarian Reindl Royal: Replace meat with hearty vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, and sweet potatoes.
2. Spicy Version: Add red chili flakes or smoked chipotle powder for a spicy kick.
3. Seafood Reindl Royal: Use a mix of shrimp, scallops, and firm white fish in place of meat.
4. Cheesy Finish: Sprinkle grated Gruyère or Parmesan cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
5. Beer-Infused Royal: Replace white wine with a malty beer for a deeper flavor.

Pairings

• Sides: Serve with buttered egg noodles, dumplings, or a fresh green salad.
• Drinks: Pair with a robust red wine, such as a Merlot or a light lager beer.

Conclusion

Cooking Reindl Royal on the Arteflame grill enhances its traditional flavors with a smoky, caramelized twist. This hearty, comforting dish is ideal for sharing with friends and family, making your outdoor gathering unforgettable.
